NEW YORK, September 20, 2010 - Lime Brokerage LLC (www.limebrokerage.com), an independent

Built upon the innovative, patent-pending technology that Lime has
developed for the U.S. equities markets, the solution is fully integrated
with Lime's ultra-low latency Citrius(TM) options data. The high-speed
offering aggregates data, execution, pre-order risk controls and
clearing/reporting into a single platform.

Developed to address the growing need by high-volume traders for
ultra-low latency options trading and data, the Lime options offering reduces
through-box latency to low double-digit microseconds (1/1,000,000th of a
second). This represents a significant reduction in latency over existing
solutions, thereby ensuring that options traders receive optimal prices and
fills.

Available options exchanges are BATS Options (BATS), Boston Options
Exchange (BOX), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), International
Securities Exchange (ISE), Nasdaq OMX Options (NOM), Nasdaq OMX PHLX (PHLX),
NYSE Amex Options (AMEX) and NYSE Arca Options (ARCA).

Lime clients can directly access the options markets by co-locating
within Lime's data center in Jersey City. The data center employs dark fiber
connectivity directly to venues and leverages Lime's patent-pending hardware
and software infrastructure that is engineered to ensure speed, throughput
and high availability.

Jeff Wecker, President and CEO of Lime Brokerage states that "an
increasing variety of trading strategies now require the lowest data and
execution latency to maximize options trading opportunities and improve
execution quality."

"What happened in the equities space is now occurring in options, and
those traders still using older, slower, screen-based technologies are being
marginalized by more competitive traders leveraging the most up-to-date tools
and technologies available."
